Hi there-I have a luxury
A Friend of mine had a Forrester and I'm sure he was told that the belt should be changed around 90 to 100K as a precaution. You don't want it breaking in the middle of no where. Apparently its a pretty expensive job. I would ring around a few Auto repair shops. 50K seems a bit early for such a job.

If it can be jumped at the solenoid then I would check out the ignition switch or the actual key cylinder insert. Some key inserts have plastic tabs on the sides or end and these will wear over time
2010 Forester, how does one remove the plastic
Without seeing them my experience says they are clips that have two pieces. Simply put a screwdriver in the slot and turn like u do a screw but be very careful these are very fragile. When they are almost out pull cover off
How do I reset the computer on my subaru forester 2004
Hi to reset computer just unhook the battery leads for an hour or so, Also check your fuses again, this time with a tester. Sometimes the break in the fuse wire is so small you miss it. Also you may have a loose connection(fuse not pushes all the way in). Check your relay switches in the black box in the engine bay as well as the fuses in the same box. Hope this helps.
I have a 2005 forester XT (south Africa). The car
At 213K km, there's wear in the valve guides (== more oil consumption), the O2 sensor(s) are getting tired, and the plug wires and plugs are old. All these can cause the jerkiness.
Changing the plug wires would be a good start, followed by the plugs, unless thus has been done. A tired O2 sensor usually sets the occasional 420 error code.
You could also try resetting the ECU. What this does is place it into a learning mode, and the jerkiness may disappear for a while. If it does, it means the ECU is running the engine around the edge conditions. Replacing the O2 sensor may help, but don't do it unless you get an error code.
Also, check for exhaust leaks on the "donut" connection after the catalytic converter. Even a small leak can cause the O2 sensor to report "off" conditions.
1998 subaru forester. timing belt
check the timing belt and the timing.check thermostat is installed correctly, do not trust the guy that fixed the other problems. there is no such thing as an [internal leak?] go to another guy.lol.
I have a 2000 Subaru forester its losing water and
first have a compression test done to know for sure if head gaskets
from your description I think not as it would be overheating all the time
if you are running hot all the time and the radiator is original the cores could be blocking up so a replacement radiator would be a good move
next check out the cat converters because if they are blocking the exhaust , the hot /cold on off readings could be from them failing and blocking the exhaust
